Kevin Nolan says the table does not lie – but he is still not looking at it after Notts County went second in League Two with a 1-0 win against Swindon Town.

Jon Stead’s first half penalty made it seven unbeaten, however, the Magpies boss insists securing their status is his first priority after the club tumbled down the table before he took over in January.

“The table doesn’t lie but I’m not going to look at it now after seven games,” he said.
